A rambling, scatterbrained account of the life of doll addict DorrieBelle. She's got an overworked husband, an autistic son, a damaged ticker and just discovered she's a full fledged insulin-using diabetic and slightly anemic. She's also a tightwad who loves to sew doll clothes, and could talk the ear off a bartender. And she's got a heckuva temper ! Luckily, her 'Empress of the Universe' delusion helps to keep things in check. If you wanna know more, we pity you... but here it is !

The Pixie Faire freebie was the sweet, ruffly Faraway Downs dress, not the sleek, streamlined San Reno, but it’s very pretty, I can
use the heck out of that bodice, and it’s the best price, free ! So I snagged
it. It seems so silly to want to buy patterns still when I get so many for
free, but there’s so much I wanna learn to do – and so many ‘looks’ I want for
my dolls ! - and the ones I like that’ll do what I want aren’t often given
away. It does help, though, to go through what I have once in a while. I’ve
eliminated two patterns from the ‘want’ file because I found that I already had
them, but didn’t know it. Sure, maybe the newer one is easier, but as part of
watching my spending, I should at least try what I already got first !

Forgot to mention that we got a newer freebie loveseat for the
Study and tossed our older, stinkier one out. I swear, a gallon of Dollar Tree
knock-off Febreeze couldn’t begin to KO the smell of beer on that thing. I’m glad
it’s gone – we don’t drink beer, but I was getting a buzz just straightening
out the cushions. This one is actually more worn, but it smells much better !
